Eastman
archtops have earned a reputation as some of the best
sounding and playing jazz guitars available. Built using "old world"
construction methods, each instrument is meticulously hand crafted out
of the finest materials. The AR603CED features a hand carved, X
braced
top made of well aged spruce, mahogany back and sides, and a mahogany
neck. Aesthetically, this instrument takes inspiration from the
modern, "clean," cello inspired look of builders such as D'Aquisto and
Benedetto. The wood cello style tailpiece, dotless rosewood fingerboard,
Gotoh tuners, and nitrocellulose finish give the instrument a
sophisticated, timeless appearance. The twin built-in Seymour Duncan
Jazz humbucking pickups can produce an astonishing variety of tones,
from classic jazz to modern fusion to gritty blues.
This model is an excellent choice for players seeking a stylish yet roadworthy instrument that can produce classic jazz tones at high volumes. The comfortable 15" body sits effortlessly in your lap while the built-in pickups will keep feedback at bay. This guitar comes setup with D'Addario 12 gauge roundwounds and fairly low, 2mm action. However, this instrument performs well with many types of setups, including traditional bebop (14 gauge flatwounds and very low action) and swing (higher action) setups.
Whether it's blazing bebop leads, fingerstyle ballads, or searing blues leads, this instrument can do it all! Come and experience the easy playability and tonal beauty of this highly versatile model yourself...
